Guild Wars 2

I will keep this brief.
I apologise but FRAPS just doesn’t seem to optimise on my current machine, otherwise I would place video footage to illustrate my following points.

Blade trail. On medium grade inclined terrain it seems to measure its range via flight of the crow. It often passes through enemy twice, but without applying damage or cripple.

Rush. If you are at 1000 units distance, or at the maximum it will 100% over run its target. I trailed this on 50 stationary enemies in PvE and had 0 success at connecting. At ranges 700-1000 you have 70%. At Ranges 600 or under 95% or greater.

Whirlwind attack. If the ground target marker arrow is placed directly on feet of target so they are standing in the arrow head, it has a 100% miss rate, but the evade function will still evade. If you plave the ground marker so the arrow head is directly behind their feet it still has a 100% miss rate, but evade still works properly. It you then place the ground target arrow head 2.5cm (1 inch) behind them it will hit for 1 strike and evade function remains intact.

I am aware these are the not the first time these observations have been discussed. This is just to keep the development team aware that the range issues to 3 of the 5 skills on warrior great sword currently aren’t performing to their skill descriptions and ranges.

In PvE this can be annoying, but not game breaking in any sense. However in PvP as a viable option it relegates GS to undesirable due to the lack of consistency. Again this is not game breaking, there is other weapons one can use. However it is a little saddening when you have to store GS away because it can’t be trusted to effectively hit it marks.

I am 100% positive that if these measure/ranges are repeated by anyone that they will get the same results.

Just say’n. Something to look into when you get a spare minute.

I’ll have to try confirming this but good post, thanks.
